I've been taking online Hindi classes at Zabaan for nearly two years now. I really enjoy the one-on-one sessions. The teachers are excellent and the teaching methods are fun. Equipped with the necessary course material, it's very easy to learn online with them. I highly recommend their online classes.

I enrolled in 120 hours of private, online Hindi lessons through Zabaan as a total beginner, in order to gain some language facility during my 9 months of research in India. My experience with the school was terrific. I had two teachers, Vartika and Manisha, who had different and complimentary teaching styles and coordinated with one another to make sure the class was moving along at a pace that was good for me. Both of them seemed to genuinely enjoy teaching, which makes any class far more fun. It’s hard to imagine a more efficient course to cover all the fundamental Hindi grammar and develop skills for reading, writing, and speaking. I would highly recommend Zabaan to anyone serious about learning a language.

I have enjoyed taking the in-person intermediate Hindi classes in the Delhi office, as well as now taking online classes which are very professional and enjoyable, and I receive homework that gets marked for each class. Highly recommend.
